This project is funded by a grant from Congress- woman Georgette Gomez’s office, and run under the auspices of the College Neigh- borhood Foundation (CNF). While starting out as a pilot projet in the Mesa Colony area, it is expected to be a successand grow to include other communities within the College Area. It will also serve as a modelfor communities outside the College Area, but within the boundaries of the CNF. The vision is to initially have one or two teams of students and community members work-ing together for a few hours on a weekend to improve the looks of identified homes in theneighborhood. The project has a number of goals. One is to assist the community by identifying homes inthe area that could benefit from some clean up and yard work, and then providing the laborto accomplish it. Another goal is to increase the partnership and mutual respect between stu-dents and residents of the College Area. Owners of the properties would be approached andasked if they would like the assistance. If so, a waiver would be signed, and work scheduled.The expectation is that this would be a one-time service, with the owner maintaining theimprovements. We are hoping to have numerous community volunteers, as well as students drawn fromAssociated Students, Fraternities and Sororities. Eventually, we hope to solicit tax deductabledonations to grow the program.

After seeing an ad on Craigslist for a restaurant space for rent, Zach and fellow Fish Pit owner Lindsay Boyer decided to respond to the ad and shortly after that found themselves to be restaurant owners. Fish Pit owner Zach Stofferahn The journey to opening Fish Pit’s doors was long, and entailed several hours of hard work. Over the course of fourteen months, Zach and Lindsay built and renovated the restaurant little by little. As money came in from their other endeavors, they used it to restore different aspects of the restaurant. “Any money we had, we put into [Fish Pit],” shared Zach, who was running his own catering business and driving for Uber during the renovation. They removed and re-worked items from the existing space and added the elements you see today that define Fish Pit’s laid back and beachy vibe, like the surfboard counter tops. This hard work and dedication didn’t stop after the restaurant opened. Zach honors Fish Pit’s commitment to providing fresh and sustainable food by waking up early every morning to buy fish, and staying until the restaurant closes each night. He’s selective about where he buys his fish, only working with local fishermen and those to engage in eco-friendly practices, like using wind-powered boats. To further the res- taurant’s sustainable practices, Zach gives any leftover fish to urban farmers who use the nitrates from the fish to grow coffee beans, and in exchange, they give Zach micro greens, which are featured in Fish Pit’s tacos.

23OCTOBER 2017 |\"WHAT'S GROWING ON?\" By Robin Clarke, tcontributing writer Harvest and Transition - It’s Fall!ummer’s tomatoes have been sliced or canned, the last few squashes and eggplants picked and grilled, sautéed or steamed, cucumbers devoured in salads - and boy was that all great! Now as autumn returns to the garden, there are a few options in this transition before “winter” hits. First ofS all, since San Diego can still get pretty warm before next January, and we don’t have frost to worry about, you could probably still grow some latetomatoes successfully. Just look for types with shorter fruiting cycles, and enjoy tomatoes through Thanksgiving! And just to tempt you with that idea,I’ve included my favorite recipe for Tomato Jam. This stuff is delicious on almost anything and definitely gives ketchup a run for its money. Mark Bittman’s Tomato Jam Makes 2 small jars with a little left over 1.5 pounds ripe plum tomatoes, cored and coarsely chopped 1 cup sugar 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice 1 tablespoon fresh grated or minced ginger 1 tea- spoon ground cumin 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves 1 teaspoon salt 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes or cayenne 1. Combine all ingredients in a heavy medium saucepan, Bring to a boil over medium heat, stir- ring often. 2. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture has consistency of thick jam, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, then pour into hot, sterilized jam jars, screw the lids on and turn the jars upside down to cool completely. Also, here’s a great recipe to use up your summer squash and chilies:Zucchini with Green Chili and Corn (Calabacitas) Drop the garlic into a food processor through the feed tube while the machine is running. Turn off the machine, add the chilies and green2 garlic cloves, peeled onions, and process till finely chopped, stopping at least once to scrape2 Anaheim chilies seeded and cut into thirds down bowl with a rubber spatula.

Add salt, pepper, cream and theFreshly ground black pepper to taste corn, cover the pan and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. Remove1/3 cup heavy cream the lid and taste the zucchini, which should be just cooked but still1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels somewhat crisp.
